    6/8 OVB
    MW Gingered Cranberry Pear
    homemade brush/ Shavemac pure knot

    I ordered a couple of pucks of Mystic Water soap and received a free sample of Gingered Cranberry Pear. It isn't something I would have ordered but.... it's a very nice scent and typical of MW quality. Good Stuff. I just found out that I need a total knee replacement. That will put a crimp in my coyote hunting. Have a good one.

    The coyotes will still be there when you get healed and it wont take long. Lots of friends getting hips and knees and all but one went very smooth. Good luck

    @Jayaruh made it. I like how it feels in the hand and on the face.

    The Clauss razors are sleepers. They will shave with the best

    I saw one (Fritz Bracht Tennis) on auction and was very tempted. That's a beauty, Lou!

    They are a very high quality blade. Don't pass up the chance to buy one. I have two matching razors, one perfect, the other almost. I love to shave with a square point 13/16 - perfect size

    I have a Dovo 55 Fritz Bracht. Excellent razor. Supposedly the best Dovo straights were made during the period of time Fritz Bracht ran Dovo. I've always wanted a Tennis. Do you have a 7 day set?

    No, I bought one from a friend in the UK that is as new as it can be. Then I stumbled onto one on Ebay that had some poor photos and buy it now for $$60.00. When it arrived it was almost perfect and with a little Mas and a rag you now cannot tell them apart. They pop up on ebay now and then
